Olsen Twins Collaborate With Damien Hirst

MARY-KATE
and Ashley
Olsen have teamed up with Damien Hirst
to create a range of luxury backpacks for their label, The Row. The
collection stars the twins' famous Nile crocodile rucksack
throughout - but treated to 12 different Hirst makeovers.

The one-off range is the first in a series of "curated artistic
partnerships" spearheaded by online fashion retailer Just One Eye. The
bags feature quirky prescription pill and spot motifs, with each
piece having been signed by the artist himself.

"We are thrilled to be part of this project with Just One
Eye", said the Olsens. "Their unique approach to artistic
collaborations is inspirational."

While the original Nile backpack - which sold out online and in
stores - carried a price tag of $35,000 (£21,800), the Hirst
designs have been listed as price on application, with a portion of
the proceeds from each sale benefitting UNICEF.

"We are long-time admirers of both Damien and The
Row's work," said Just One Eye co-founder Paola Russo.
"Our main focus here is to nurture work between artists working in
different mediums. We couldn't have dreamed of a better way to
debut this series of partnerships."
